"We have a daughter, soon to be 3, named Emelia Grace. We call her Emmy, except when she's being naughty. :)
We pronounce it |ee MEEL ee uh| when trying to exaggerate the sound for someone writing her name, like at the doctor's office, but it usually comes out a soft e at the beginnining, or a sort of schwa sound, when we say it quickly. We don't focus a lot on how people pronounce it, because we use her full name so rarely, and it just doesn't bother us.
I worried a little when we named her this, about whether it would feel too obscure or people would mess it up all the time, but it hasn't been an issue in the least! I have been very pleased with out choice, and find her name to be beautiful, feminine, and fun." Oct. 26, 2010:

We didn't want 2 kids with very popular names, so we changed Emily to Emelia. THe neat thing was that we found out afterwards that my husband great grandmother was named Emelia and my grandmother was Grace, so she ended up with family names from both sides! We call her Emma, but she is very proud to tell people what her proper name is!" Apr. 29, 2010:
"My middle daughter is named Emelia Helena. My great grandmother was named Emilia and we used that but changed the I to an E to avoid people calling her emily-a. It works most of the time.

I loved this name (and the beautiful woman whose name it was) and wanted to have a baby girl so we could name her Emelia and call her Emmy....but alas he so didn't want children, as it turned out. So we ended up divorced. I went a on career binge and never had my own baby girl.
SOOOOO to all of you with little "Emelia's" - good for you, love your child and motherhood well. It's so much better than a "career." It's an absolutely beautiful name." Jan. 28, 2010:

"Our wonderful daughter is named Emelia Jane -who is now 2 years 3 months, born October 2007.
We came up with the name Emelia only 10 days after she was born! We had thought of a 'pre birth' name, but she didn't suit it when we met her ! We love the name and she really suits it. It had its origins in our love for Germany, although we are from the UK. Her current favourite saying is "Emelia do it":-)" Jan. 2, 2010:

"My daughter is called 'Emelia - Grace' lots of people spell her name wrong. She is nearly 3 and if you ask her name she will tell you its Mei - Mei! Since she started to talk she called herself this and it has stuck. We call her Ems or Emelia Grace if we are really mad at her!" Mar. 26, 2009:
"Emelia is the name given to my beautiful granddaughter. Parents who have a desire to give their child a name that is unique are showing how special they believe their child will be. We call our angel Eme and yes, it's E..melia." Mar. 20, 2009:
"My 1 year old daughter is named Emelia Nicole, my husband calls her Emelia, but I call her both Emelia and Emmy. I chose to name my first daughter this when I was 15 years old. My grandmothers name was Emily, but it was too common, so I chose Emelia, and I actually thought I made it up! lol. Emelia is a very old Portuguese name and my husband is from Portugal so the name worked out perfectly. I picked it out before I even met my husband! lol. But I absolutely love this name and so does everyone I meet." Mar. 13, 2009:

"My name is Emelia. i am seven years old. Often people call me Mia. They call me that because when I was a baby I couldn't say my name right and I called myself Mia. I love my name.

"my name is Emelia! it sure feels good to see other 'Emelia's here as well. despite the fact that people often misspell my name as 'Emilia' or call me 'Emily', i really like this name. i think it's unique. i'm glad my parents gave me this name. my friends call me 'Emmy'!" Feb. 13, 2009:
"My name is Emelia Caroline and I was named after a great grandmother." Jan. 26, 2009:
"From the time I knew I was having a girl, I wanted to name her Emelia. My childhood hero was always Amelia Earhart and I knew I would name my child after her. However, I didn't want anyone nicknaming her "Ame or Amy" for short, I really hate that name and also her middle name starts with "A" so we changed the "A" for an "E" and I love it. I actually never met anyone with the name before but we love it. Now that Emelia is 2 months old we get a lot of confusion about the pronunciation, is it "Emely..a" or "emily" or they will write to us "Amelia" thinking that we just misspelled her name.
All in all, we love the name and do get so many complements on it. I'm so glad we went with the "E", it does give her name so much personality, just like her." Jan. 20, 2009:
"My 5 1/2 year old daughter is Emelia. We named her after my great-grandmother who was Czech. We call her Emme, Em, or Emme Lou Who." Jan. 19, 2009:
"My daughter is named Emelia Caroline. We call her Emmy. I always wanted to have a daughter named Amelia and call her Mia, it does not work at all with our last name (Butts). I am SOOOOOO happy we chose Emelia instead. I don't know where I would be without my little Em button." Jan. 13, 2009:
"My 4yr old daughters name is Emelia. My oldest daughters name is Emery. I have always loved the name Amelia but changed it to an E to make the first 3 letters the same as her older sister. We pronouce it as Amelia though, not E..melia. It is a beautiful name!!" Jan. 9, 2009:
"MY NAME IS EMELIA.... I HAVENT FOUND ANYBODY WHO SPELLS THEIR NAME JUST LIKE ME... I AM IN HIGH SCHOOL AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE I KNOW EITHER CALL E...MELIA BUT THE CORRECT WAY TO SAY MY NAME IS AMELIA .... IM TIRED OF CORRECTING PEOPLE ABOUT MY NAME BUT ... I WAS NAMED AFTER A PASTORS WIFE... SHE THOUGHT ITS WAS A PERFECT NAME FOR ME AND MY MOTHER WAS HAPPY WITH THE LETTER E BECAUSE HER SISTERS NAME IS ESTHER AND MY OLDER SISTER IS ALSO NAMED ESTHER BUT MY NAME IS EMELIA , MY COUSINS NAME IS EVA AND HER BROTHER NAME IS ENOCH. WELL TO CUT TO THE STORY I LOVE MY NAME AND I COULDNT BE ANY HAPPY .......
P.S.- I REALLY LOVE WHEN PEOPLE TELL ME THAT MY NAME IS BEAUTIFUL" Jan. 8, 2009:
"My name is also Emelia. I was named after my great grandmother, I have only met one other person who spelled her name the way I do, other than my great grandmother. I get lots of compliments on how beautiful my name is. Thank heavens my parents didn't decide on Amanda as originally discussed." Jan. 2, 2009:

My friends call me EM!
I just hate that I always have to correct people . ." Nov. 14, 2008:
"My name is also Emelia, ive never met anyone with the same spelling. It seems as though never ever remembers my name and i am constantly reminding them, which is really annoying. My nickname is Mil. Which is slightly strange! I live in Melbourne, Australia" Sep. 19, 2008:
"EMELIA is the name of my daughter - she is 2 months old. :)
My MIL, who has passed, had a dream about her and so far it has come true - her dark hair and blue eyes, and her favorite name was Emily, so in honor of her, we named her Emelia.
It is so classic and everyone LOVES her name and thinks it is so so beautiful." Sep. 18, 2008:
"I named my daughter Emelia because my extended family has a thing for names that start with "E". We have Elisa, Elena, Eva, Elizabeth, Emily, Esther, Erin, Evangelic, Emerald and Emeri. So when my daughter was born I was having trouble finding another unique name that started with "E". I wanted either Emma or Emmy but my husband didn't like either. We agreed on Emelia, I liked it bacause I could get away with calling her either. It's the perfect name for her i just hope I don't have anymore girls because I'm offically out of names!" Sep. 2, 2008:
"We named our daughter Emelia (we call her Lia for short, but also her more formal name, too) after my grandmother and great, great grandmother from Germany Emilie, pronounced ahmeeleeyah i.e. like Amelia. It was my middle name and I always thought it was pretty since I was stuck with Mary and wanted my daughter to have it. It is nice for my daughter to have casual options and more formal Emelia. Lia has stuck with many family members. We hear both and that is just fine with us. She is beautiful!" Sep. 1, 2008:
"My wife and I just had a baby girl in April. her name is Emelia Marie. When people ask me, I say Emelia. "Amelia?" No no, Eeeemelia. "Oh, that's awesome!"" Sep. 1, 2008:
"we named our daughter Emelia because I wanted a different spelling like my name and I think it is great to find others that spell it the same way...it is a rare name now a days and I wanted something that she would not be in class with a BUNCH of others with the same spelling~!" Aug. 21, 2008:
"My name is Emelia! Ive only seen one person who has the exact same spelling as me." Aug. 13, 2008:
"My name is Emelia and i was named after a great grandmother like so many people. I go by Mimi with friends generally, and a thousand nicknames from that. Most people who call me Emelia are family, and thats sometimes just shortened to E. When i speak with older people i tend to introduce myself as Emelia, instead of explaining the nickname. I figure once i'm done with college i will go by Emelia. I have never ment anyone with the same spelling, but maybe 2 people named Amelia. It can get frustrating when people pronounce is with the A, or they read it out loud as Emily for whatever reason. I love my name though, its unique and always a conversation starter." Aug. 12, 2008:
"Its my name - i love it have met heaps of people thru work who are having or just had kids and have called them Emelia - its really pretty on certificates and is unique and perfect for me. My nicknames include Millie Emmy Em Mia and Leah (coz of the LIA at the end). Depends on who it is thats calling me i guess" Jul. 23, 2008:
"We named our daughter Emelia in 2002. It is similar to Emelio (boy) and Emily (girl). Her middle name is Mae - where we go EM-MA her nickname. We pronounce it Em-e-lee-uh. We loved the name Emma but it was very popular. We thought she could use either her full name to be different or a nickname. I've met one other Emelia and several Amelia's." | |
